Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will be obtained and paid for by County, unless otherwise specified in the contract documents. If contractor believes that any delay in county’s furnishing these lands or easements entitles it to an extension of the contract time, it may make a claim therefore as provided in article 12.

The County will furnish to the contractor copies of all available boundary surveys upon request. 4.2 UNFORSEEN PHYSICAL CONDITIONS Contractor shall notify County and architect/engineer in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery of any subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract documents.

Promptly thereafter, County shall obtain the necessary additional surveys and tests and furnish copies to architect/engineer and contractor. If architect/engineer finds that physical conditions which differ materially from those intended in the contract documents, and which could not reasonably have been anticipated by contractor, a formal change order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions.
